Shakran, as tempted as I am to go through your post line by line, I'm not going to. What I am going to do is try to sum up your point as I interpret it - don't do anything at all including discussing it with any one at all until you find out the facts. Is that correct?
The indisputable fact at the center of this discussion is that the guy is a sex offender. He's on the registry, and that's the sole basis of the definition as we're using. That also means her information isn't "shaky". Exactly what sex crimes he committed was only answered in NG's last post (flashing), and until now we haven't had any idea whether or not he's a threat. Even now, we still don't really know.
If I've gotten your point correctly, you would disallow any neighbors asking if they knew anything about the sex offender that just moved in down the street. You would also disallow one neighbor letting another know that there was a potential threat. That seems counterintuitve to me, so I hope I've gotten your point wrong.
Just so you know, I'm going to keep talking to my friends and neighbors about anything I want. You just let me know if you object to that.
